ASRC 1810

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

This course will consider three texts: Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," the US Declaration of Independence and the event of January 6th, 2021, as all belonging to the same phenomenon: the on-going history of grievance in American politics. Miller's drama about the Salem witch trials concatenates to the founding document of American grievance: the US Declaration of Independence. January 6th, as such, shows itself to be, in the history of US politics, not the exception or the aberration. It is the constitutive norm.
